No more Google apps for Blackberry?

Hello everybody,
We can see around few threads about the google maps download possibility disappearing from the google site, or the voice app not being available.
On the m.google.com site you can choose android, or iphone. When choosing the option 'Not on Android?', it is linked to 'find an Android device for you'.

Does it mean that Google stopped support for Blackberry?
If yes: can this mean that it is due to the approaching BB10 release, as being competitive to Android devices?

Thanks for the links: I am sure they will be appreciated by some users around.
I know the apps are working: I am using Maps quite frequently.
I also have my .cods backups, so it is not as much concern to get the app. Just the thing is: is there something more in this?

Yes, OK. But I am quite sure that two months ago while upgrading my friend's 9790 I got the Google maps from google site, and not from my 9900 backup.
Now it is gone, and Google is advising to get Android device.
So actually I believe we can expect no google apps for new platform next year. And actually my post was kind of invitation to the statement of BB10 being a competition to Android.
I just can't see the reasoning in such Google behavior.
1) For sure lack of google maps for BB10 will not discourage anyone from getting new BB10 device.
2) iPhone sure is the competition for Android, and google maps are available for iPhones.

I guess it would mean no Google Maps app for BB10. I know BB10 will have BB Maps powered by TomTom, but I only use Google Maps on my 9930 and I pretty much use Google Maps just for transit information and directions. No other mapping tools has that. I guess I could port the Android Google Maps app on BB10. Hopefully it works ok, but how many non-informed BB10 users looking for Google Maps know about sideloading?

Need Google Search back!

How did you get it to work in 9900? i have a 9930 and i can't get the search application to install "Sorry your device does not meet the system requirements that are needed to support Blackberry Quick Search powered by Google"
